One Way to Deal with Fear, Doubt and Worry

Hi everyone,

As you may have read, I’ve been a lawyer for 33 years. I’ve also been a coach with the Ontario Law Society and, prior to that, was part of the peer support network for the Ontario Lawyers Assistance Program. I’ve now been coaching for 13 years and work with some amazing programs!

So, let’s talk about a tool you can use to calibrate Fear.

What predominant fear (whether it be “defcon” or expressed as doubt, concern or worry) are you ...

Tools to Clear Out the Old for Ever!

“The decision to let go of that which has completed its course in your experience is even more important than the decision to welcome new ideas” – Raymond Charles Barker.

Yet letting go of the old isn’t our normal experience here on planet earth, is it?  We often go through life piling up hurts, sorrow, pain, guilt and the like from things we’ve done or had done to us.  Some of us horde ideas, others horde things.  We often believe we are justified in one way or ...

Reflections on Garbage Thoughts

I really appreciate the services we have for garbage here in Canada.  A truck comes once a week and picks up old stuff and garbage and takes it to wherever it goes – the dump mostly I believe. 

Awhile back I was taking the garbage bins to the curb for pickup, and it caused me reflect. 

Do you ever have garbage thoughts? You know – ones that are limiting, unsavory, old, ugly, rotten, or that you’ve just plain outgrown or really ...

The Conductor

I once heard a story about a woman who went to the symphony.  She noticed the discordant cacophony of sound as the musicians were tuning and warming up.  Then, at a certain point, amongst all of that chaos, the conductor, picked up his baton and went “tap, tap, tap” on the podium.  The musicians stopped what they were doing, became quiet and were ready to begin.

The woman later asked one of the musicians how she could hear the conductor’s baton in all of that sound.  And the ...

Back of the Bus

Last year I visited the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit, and sat in the seat where Rosa Parks sat.  Now, I’m Canadian and we have a different collective story, though one no less challenging to some in that way.

Rosa Parks’ stand for refusing to go to the back of the bus is a stand that each and every one of us can make. 

On a personal level, we must take a stand to command our own minds if we are to truly live lives that we love ...

Making Meaning

A few months ago, I had a few experiences in the span of several weeks, that seemed odd.  I didn’t think much of any of them… on their own.  In fact, I thought I’d handled each situation pretty well, and seen them for what I thought they were (reactions of others 😊).  Then one more situation occurred, and I was triggered!  It was the proverbial the “straw that broke the camel’s back”.

I thought I’d let each prior incident go, yet my mind had gone into a different modality.  ...

You are Unique!

Do you sometimes compare yourself to others? 

People say, “well that’s normal”.  Maybe it is…

I don’t know how you feel yet whenever I fall into comparison “mode” it doesn’t feel very good.  So why is that?

When we compare, we are looking at someone’s outer results from a lens and our own feelings of inadequacy.  That’s pretty strange, if you think about it. 

Do flowers compare themselves to others? Other animals? I suspect not.

Now, comparison despair is very different than looking at others results, celebrating them and aspiring to ...

Eve Wahn presents at LSO conference

I was recently privileged to present a workshop, “The Power of Vision: 3 Keys to Creating the Practice (and Life) You Love”, to a full capacity room at the 14th Solo & Small Firm Conference of the Ontario Law Society. Like others, many lawyers are living life by default rather than design. We (like others) often have a mindset that says, “work harder” or “work smarter”. Yet push energy can only take us so far. ...

To Be or Become the Change…

Some people know the quote of Mahatma Gandhi as, “Be the change you want to see in the world”.  I’ve heard it as “Become the change you want to see in your world”. 

So, “what is the difference”?

We may live on 1 planet yet each person lives in his or her own world.  The world we live in depends on our perception, and our perception arises from our patterns of thinking.  Your patterns of thinking differ from mine, and because of that we ...
